Announcement    May-June Update: From May 1st to June 4th I will be out of the country. Ship-by dates will be pushed out during that time, otherwise the shop will function as normal for all digital purchases.

If you need your jewelry item(s) any time during May or the first week of June, place your order before April 28th.

A Little Spring Cleaning

Hello! I just wanted to informally chat here a little bit about the current direction of the shop and other FAQ-adjacent things. It's my intention to almost entirely pivot this shop to a digital pattern only shop by the end of the year, with the exception of a few jewelry items that still appear to be in demand.

If you would like to keep up to date with upcoming patterns and testing calls, please follow my Instagram @chiaroscurosity_designs; that's the most reliable and up to date platform to keep up with my projects.

To preemptively answer a number of questions I get about upcoming patterns: all currently available patterns are already published here. If you do not see a pattern for an item I am wearing in listing photos, that pattern is not presently commercially available, so please refer to my Instagram to see which pattern is in testing/designing phase. In the case of the black and white wrap pants, those will not be commercially available as a pattern. I intend to make a pattern for the rainbow wrap pants sometime in the next few months, as I intend to frog and rework them, but as with the Cherry Blossom Trousers, the pattern will only be available in one size.

If you are interested in my patterns but hesitant to buy one without first acquainting yourself with my writing style, you can peruse some of the free patterns on my Ribblr, as well as the free, watermelon themed ones on my Patreon for my "Patterns For Palestine" charity fundraising project.

Lastly, in the event that you require pattern support, please contact me either here on Etsy, or via email at chiaroscurosity.shop [!at] gmail.com. I don't accept social media DMs, and that format of communication is too tedious for such in depth discussions, regardless.

    Hiya! Welcome to my little corner of crafting. I'm based out of NC, and I've been knitting and crocheting since I was 11 and only recently took up jewelry making, but needless to say, I'm hooked. I just love making shiny things! :)

Frequently asked questions

Materials and allergy information

All material information is provided in the listing descriptions, so please read the description first before messaging with further questions, if you have any. All materials used are, to the best of my knowledge and test wearing, nickel, cadmium, and lead free. Many of my charms are made from Tibetan silver which can contain nickel, but neither myself nor previous buyers have had any issue with this material.

Sizing details

All sizing details are provided in listing descriptions, so please read the description first before messaging me with further questions. Many of my earrings are statement earrings, which means they measure up to and over 4 inches in length. All necklaces and chokers are sized to fit, again see the descriptions for specific details. If you are concerned about the fit of anything and require further information than what is provided in the listing description, please feel free to message me.

Wholesale availability

For wholesale inquiries, please message me directly. Inquiries under 100 units will not qualify for typical wholesale rates, but I am amenable a bulk discount for significantly large enough orders.

Care instructions

I do not use precious metals in my jewelry, as such the plating and metal will naturally darken over time. To avoid exacerbating this, please be mindful not to expose your jewelry to water, lotions, aggressive perfumes, etc. A standard store bought jewelry cleaner or a mixture of water, baking soda, and lemon juice will help brighten your pieces. All stainless steel pieces are tarnish resistant and will not darken, however if they do need a clean, a simple dish soap and water mixture will remove any residue easily.

Custom and personalized orders

For custom orders, please message me so we can discuss design elements and pricing. Please do not order an item with a list of customizations in the note; the order will be cancelled, you will be refunded, and I will request that you please discuss customization with me, first.

Delivery (US Domestic)

All items in the US ship via USPS First Class Mail which typically takes 2-5 days to deliver. Parasols ship via USPS Parcel Select Ground. This does not include my processing times, which at present is 1-3 days. Please order at least 8 business days in advance of when you need the item(s).

If your item arrives damaged or does not arrive within the estimated delivery window, please message me asap!

Delivery (International)

I ship internationally with USPS First Class Package International Service. Delivery times vary depending on your country of residence, and Etsy will provide you an ETA. Due to LUCID restrictions, I do not ship to Germany.

Cancellations, returns, and refunds

Please request a cancellation within 12 hours of placing your order as I often tend to ship items next day. Once your order is in transit, you cannot request a cancellation or for that matter an address change. You will have to wait until you receive your item to begin the return process, in which case I will generate you a return label, and when I receive the item back, you will be refunded minus the cost of the return shipping.

My return window is up to 7 days after you have received your order. Returns/refunds will not be issued after this window closes or if I have nor received the item back.

Returns/refunds will not be issued for reasons of inadequate fit. All sizing information is thoroughly detailed in listing descriptions.

My order arrived damaged/USPS says my order was delivered but I can't find it.

If your order arrives damaged, please message me immediately before leaving a review! I want you to receive exactly what you paid for and will happily send replacements in the event that USPS delivered your jewelry in a subpar state.

If USPS has marked your item as delivered but you cannot locate it, please contact the PO that services your address, or wait a few days as sometimes the PO tends to prematurely mark delivery. If neither of these options works, please message me asap so I can make my own inquiries and implement the best solution from there.

In either instance of delivery issues, please message me first before leaving a review. I am always happy to solve issues to the best of my ability. Thank you!
